Un-Knowing Spirituality to Know the Present

There are many beliefs and concepts concerning "enlightenment" and "spirituality" that may be transcended for one to be here now. Let us realize that every one's "path" is unique and valuable. There are no mandatory requirements when it comes to realization.

One could say that the only "requirement" is to know thy self.

There are mysterious beings and their attractive journeys but let us ground into our lives. We are all on a beautiful path. We each have all the tools provided to realize GOD. We are each born through unique design and circumstance ensuring our "awakening"; our realization. Seeing that we are expanding into more, the love (the more) we are expanding into has our best interest at heart; love knows, and has provided. We all have our relationship with GOD, the formless, pure consciousness, etc. There is no "right or wrong", only growth, and this includes growing in understanding within what we call "spirituality".

Today there are many who are deeply ingrained in a "traditional" spiritual way and this is perfect. But each individual no matter what road they trod will at some point release all ideas of a path (including traditional, new, and "accepted") paths and embrace themselves: the One. They realize the One.

We may emulate and worship up unto a certain "point" within our understanding along our journey. But at one moment we naturally surrender every"thing", realizing the "more". This renouncement includes trends, our history, the possible future, our dreams, and all that we worship.

We know the one glorious GOD of Now: The GOD present in presence through relinquishing "things" (material attachments). We realize "more" than things.


Through our wisdom may we use our intelligence not only to discern "truth" but also to discern what we "think" is the truth? Truth is not a thought no matter how amazing or spiritual, it is being; a state of now; the river of today.

We may hypothesize and philosophize about truth but "truth" is beyond. Let us remain aware of this "beyond" so we remain grounded and flow no matter what our musings. We are here, "and" beyond. There are ways to adopt and practice but it is what we are thinking in-between that is paramount and revealing our consciousness.

Someone recently said this to me, or to this effect, "Seeing you have it 'all' figured out why are you still concerned with me?" First, I do not have it "all" figured out and second we can realize this question is the voice of the learning ego: the limited idea of self. The ego "thinks" it understands spirituality and realization by comparisons and measures. But the ego will never know realization seeing realization is realizing "more" than the ego. Realization is the transmutation of the ego.

The caterpillar may dream of what it is like to be the butterfly. But until it is a butterfly, until it realizes the butterfly it will only be a caterpillar thinking about butterflies. It will be a "spiritual" caterpillar that "thinks" it is a butterfly. It will not know the truth in being a butterfly. The ego is like the caterpillar. It thinks it knows the truth but has only attached to reflections of the truth, or reflections of what it would be like to be a butterfly.

I told this person that I have not changed, that I have expanded. The caterpillar still exists within the oneness of the butterfly, and so do the i's within the I AM. The caterpillar does not disappear it transmutes. I said "I am here and I still love everyone as I always have." What I was implying was to be here now with me not within fantasy.

Let us be mindful of our thinking of what it means to be enlightened. When we fully live we are present, and through presence we realize.

Realization is beyond all that we know - all knowledge.

Realization is experiential, and experience occurs now, always. One does not think, they know, or as I like to say "they un-know."

We are pure consciousness that contains any and all things, including beliefs and concepts about spirituality. Thoughts are "born" out of All That We Are. It is knowledge, or the destruction of knowledge that enlightens or awakens one to the realization that they are, have been, and will always be pure consciousness.

Let us be mindful of our propensity to limit ourselves through information and teachings. Teaching, true teaching is un-knowing. It is resonating with the wholeness of another that IS. We evolve (or learn) new information to un-know what we have currently acquired, or attached to, and this continues until the momentum of unknowing illumines home.

We are evolving our intelligence to understand what to next un-learn.
